SAN LEANDRO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE <br />TITLE 1 CITY COUNCIL <br />Chapter 10 Naming/Renaming Facilities <br />$1.10.100: POLICY ON NAMING/RENAMING FACILITIES. It is in the public interest <br />to officially name certain Ciry properties and facilities in order to identify them for the public and <br />to celebrate those individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Ciry. This policy <br />recognizes that requests for naming or renaming of facilities most often occur after the death of a <br />prominent citizen. However, similar recognition may be given in the case of a living prominent <br />citizen whose accomplishments and contributions to the community clearly demonstrate a <br />commitment over and beyond what would be normally associated with the performance of their <br />work. <br />§1.10.105: APPLICABILITY. This policy applies to certain City properties or facilities <br />such as City buildings; structures, parks, public rights-of--way, recreation areas, or other tangible <br />assets, except properties donated to the Ciry upon condition that a certain name be used. This <br />policy also applies to the naming and/or renaming of individual rooms in City facilities and the <br />renaming of Ciry streets, but not the naming of a Ciry street which is the responsibility of the <br />developer. <br />X1.10.110: PROCEDURES. While it is the policy of the Ciry to continue to use existing <br />names for Ciry properties, should the City Council so direct by motion, the Rules and <br />Communications Committee shall review the requested name change for dispersal to the <br />appropriate Board or Commission for further review and report its decision to Council. The <br />following criteria shall be used: <br />(a) In the case of an individual who is deceased, the individual for whom a facility is to be <br />named must be deceased at least one hundred eighty (180) days. <br />(b) The individual for whom a facility is to be named (or renamed) must have been one of the <br />following: <br />(1) Long-term resident of the community or owner of a business in the community <br />who has made significant, notable, and tangible contributions to the facility or <br />property in question or to the San Leandro community at large. <br />(2) Elected official or employee of the City whose accomplishments and <br />contributions to the community clearly demonstrate a commitment over and <br />beyond that which would otherwise be normally associated with the performance <br />of their work. <br />Deparhnent Responsible for Revision: City Clerk Chapter 1.10 <br />01/22/2002 Page 1 <br />
